I was asked at our New York City program on June 19th how we intend to keep the RFC going. The generation of the 1930’s is passing, and the generation of the 1960’s is aging. My response was: “Bequests!”

You have the power to ensure that the RFC will remain a consistent source of multi-year support for future generations of children of targeted activists by remembering the RFC in your will. My parents wrote in their final letter to my brother and me: “We died secure in the knowledge that others would carry on after us.” I have worked through the RFC to justify that trust, and with a bequest you can make sure that others will carry on after you.

Please take the time now to add the RFC as a beneficiary of your estate. You can call (413)-529-0063 or email rfc@rfc.org, and I will provide you with the information you need. It may take generations to transform our society, but with a legacy gift you can project your financial support into the future and help bring about that change. — Robert Meeropol
